I. SAFETY WARNINGS
A. General Disclaimer
Riding ACTON RocketSkates™ can be a dangerous activity. Certain conditions may
cause the equipment to fail without fault of the manufacturer. Like other electric
transportation products, ACTON RocketSkates™ are intended to move and accordingly
it is possible for the rider to lose control, fall, collide with other objects, and/or get into
dangerous situations that no amount of care, instruction or expertise can completely
eliminate. If such things occur you can be seriously injured or die, even when using
safety equipment and using other precautions.
RIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND USE COMMON SENSE.
This manual contains many warnings and cautions concerning the consequences of
failing to maintain, inspect or properly use your ACTON RocketSkates™. Because any
incident can result in serious injury or even death, we repeat the warning of possible
serious injury or death.
WEAR HELMET AND PROTECTIVE GEAR AT ALL TIMES.
B. Age, Weight & Health
ACTON RocketSkates™ are designed for adults and for older teens. The recommended
rider age is 16 years of age and older. Notwithstanding this age recommendation, any
rider unable to fit comfortably into ACTON RocketSkates™ should not attempt to use
it. Keep ACTON RocketSkates™ away from small children and young teens. ACTON
RocketSkates™ are only intended for use by persons who are, at a minimum, completely
comfortable and competent while operating ACTON RocketSkates™.
DO NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 275 LBS. Rider weight does not
necessarily mean a person’s size is appropriate to fit or maintain control of ACTON
RocketSkates™.
C. Conditions for safe riding
where ACTON RocketSkates™ may be used. Ride defensively. Watch out for potential
obstacles that could catch your wheels, force you to swerve suddenly, or lose control.
Be careful to avoid pedestrians, inline skaters, motor vehicles, skateboarders, other
RocketsSkates™ riders, scooters, bikes, children or animals that may enter your path.
Do not activate Normal or Pro mode on the ACTON App unless you are on
RocketSkates™ in a safe environment suitable for riding, and you are comfortable
maintaining control of RocketSkates™.
Do not touch the wheels or any moving parts on your RocketSkates™ when in use or
immediately after the discontinuation of riding, as these parts can become very hot and
may burn you.
Do not attempt or do stunts or tricks on your RocketSkates™. RocketSkates™ are not
made to withstand abuse from misuse such as jumping, curb grinding or any other
types of stunts. RocketSkates™ can break from the stresses incurred by these activities.
Any such misuse will void the warranty.
RocketSkates™ are designed to be ridden by only one person at a time. Do not carry
another person or animal while riding RocketSkates™. Do not use near swimming pools,
Do not ride your RocketSkates™ in wet or icy weather, and never immerse the
RocketSkates™ in water, as the electrical and drive components could be damaged. In
addition, water can create hazardous conditions.
RocketSkates™ are intended for use on flat, dry surfaces such as pavement or level
ground without loose debris such as sand, leaves, rocks or gravel. Wet, slick, bumpy,
uneven or rough surfaces may impair traction and contribute to possible accidents.
Never risk damaging surfaces such as carpet or flooring by use of RocketSkates™
indoors

Before riding, be sure to check that all four wheels, buttons, and straps are secured
properly. Do not ride the ACTON RocketSkates™ in the rain. Always ride on dry paved
surfaces. Gravel, wet, and uneven surfaces are hazardous.
Check to see that the battery is properly installed and charged. Check the battery level
through the ACTON App. Do not place the battery near heat or fire. Do not expose the
charger to water or any moisture.
Do not forget to power off the ACTON RocketSkates™ after each use by pressing the
power button on the back of the red buckled powered skate.
Always wear proper protective equipment such as an approved safety helmet (with
chin strap securely buckled), wrist guards, elbow pads, and kneepads. A helmet may be
legally required by local law or regulations in your area. A long-sleeved shirt and long
pants are recommended. Always wear athletic shoes (lace-up shoes with rubber soles);
never ride barefooted or in sandals, and keep shoelaces tied and out of the way of the
wheels, motor, and drive system.
D. Battery Handling & Disposal
ACTON RocketSkates™ come with a charger, and the charger should be regularly
examined for possible damage to the cord, plug, enclosure or other parts; and in
the event of damage, please do not attempt to charge RocketSkates™ until the
charger has been repaired or replaced. While it is safe to charge one at a time, it is
recommended to always charge both together. Unplug the charger and disconnect
from RocketSkates™ when not in use and charging is complete.
Battery is best used under optimal conditions. Temperature 50-75F (10-24C), absolute
humidity 45-85%.

could result via direct contact between any conductive material and the battery. Do
not short circuit by linking connectors together. Do not demolish or disassemble the
battery by yourself. Do not store the battery in a damp place.

E. Radio Interference Precaution
ACTON RocketSkates™ incorporates a sophisticated communication algorithm to
ensure stable connection between Lead and Follower skates. But in some rare cases
connection may be lost between the two skates. As a safety precaution, skates will shut
using the buttons on the backs of each skate, in order to re-establish connection. If a
loss of connection happens more than once, stop using the skates immediately and
avoid using the RocketSkates™ again in such areas.
Try to avoid areas with high-power radio-transmitting equipment such as a radio tower.
Please contact ACTON for further assistance.

III. USING ROCKETSKATES™
A. Assembling the Foot Strap (and Footpad)
Warning: Proper adjustment for footstrap and footpad (you can buy shorter
experience with the RocketSkates™. Failure to adjust the footstrap (and/or footpad)
may prohibit you from fastening the RocketSkates™ to your feet securely, and may
cause injury when using the RocketSkates™.
Adjusting the Foot Strap
1
Use the tools included
to unscrew the screw
fastening the preadjustment strap to the
skates.
2 Put the strap over
your normal riding shoe.
Make sure the buckle is
near the center of your
shoe.
7
3 Locate the preadjustment hole on the
side of the strap that is
closest to the fastening
hole on the skates.
Carefully cut the rest of
the strap and use the
tools to reinstall the
footstrap.
Changing the Footpad (short footpad available from Online Store)
The RocketSkates™ come with a long footpad installed. This should fit shoe sizes
Women US 6, UK 4 and larger. Men US 6.5, UK 39 and larger. If your shoes size is
smaller, you have the option of swapping the footpad to a shorter one.
1
2 Slide the new footpad on and put
the washers and nuts back and tighten
both screws.
Use the attached wrench to remove
both screws on the footpad. Remove
the screws, nuts and washers.
B. Charging
Failure to recharge the battery at least once a months may result in excessively
degraded battery performance. The battery requires charging for at least 2 hours
before first use.
During charging, the red light on
the charger should be on. Once the
RocketSkates™ are fully charged, the
light on the charger will turn green.
The charging port is at the top center
section of the ankle cushion. Plug into
this port first, then plug the charger into
the wall outlet.
C. Register & Setup
RocketSkates™ can be connected with the app through Bluetooth. Please download
the “ACTON” app to your phone. The app is currently available for Android
versions 4.3+, and iOS iPhone 5+. When the app is opened for the first time, the
registration process will help you through some features that allow the RocketSkates™
to better suit you, and therefore enhance your riding experience. These features include
accurate information at setup. For your safety, please set to BEGINNER mode on the
app home page to start. Only set to NORMAL mode when you are a comfortable rider.

1 Turn the power on by pressing the
hexagonal button at the rear end of the red
buckled skate. Brief music will be played
and the battery level LED will turn on.
3 Riding Posture: maintaining balance
is a key element involved in the use of
RocketSkates. With practice, you will be able
to find a comfortable position that best suits
you; however, we find that the best posture
is one that positions one foot directly in
front of the other, such that your feet are
inline to allow for even weight distribution
between the front foot and rear foot. This
position allows you to best balance yourself
under acceleration and deceleration. The
driving skate can be used either as the front
OR rear skate, though we’ve found that
using the driving skate in the rear was most
comfortable.
9
2 Carefully stand up with toes of both
feet on the ground. Lean slightly forward
to avoid falling backward.
4 Speed is controlled by tilting the Lead
skate. Tilting forward increases speed and
tilting backward slows the skates and applies
the brake. The RockeSkates must be rolling
for the motor to engage so you must first
push off before tilting the Lead skate forward.
This is a safety mechanism to prevent the
skates from unexpectedly accelerating while
you are standing still.
IV. Beginner Tips
• Strap into the RocketSkates™.
Always strap into the skates in a seated position.
